The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 766

After finishing his soup, Clyde felt a wave of exhaustion and closed his eyes to rest.

Vivian packed up the thermos and gently led Danielle out of the hospital room. “Danielle, don’t take your uncle’s words too much to heart,” she murmured. “He’s just worried about you.”

Danielle shook her head. “Mom, I know he means well.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll handle things with Alexander. I won’t let it affect Uncle Clyde’s treatment.”

“That’s all I needed to hear.” Vivian squeezed her daughter’s hand, her gaze softening with relief. “Knowing you’re thinking this way puts my mind at ease.”

“Oh, by the way—have you heard anything from the lawyer?”

“I’ve already been in touch,” Danielle replied. “He’s one of the best divorce attorneys in the city. I’m bringing the paperwork to meet with him tomorrow.”

Vivian nodded. “Good. If you need anything from me, just say the word.”

The two of them stood quietly in the corridor, watching nurses and anxious families come and go, their hearts filled with cautious hope for the future.

At the far end of the hallway, just beyond the emergency exit, Alexander leaned against the wall, phone in hand, his eyes fixed on the chat history with his own attorney. He caught sight of Danielle and Vivian’s retreating figures, and a flicker of conflicted emotion crossed his face.

With a weary sigh, he slipped his phone into his pocket and turned to leave.

The following day, Danielle kept her appointment with the lawyer.

He studied the documents she brought, brow furrowing. “Miss Crawford, from what I see here, Orson’s demanding a share of the Linden family assets. There’s no legal precedent for this, but he might drag things out for months, maybe longer.”

Danielle was prepared for this. She nodded. “I understand. But I won’t let him get away with it.”

“No matter how long it takes, I’ll fight him every step of the way.”

“That’s the spirit,” the lawyer replied. “Next, we’ll need to gather more evidence—proof that Orson’s siphoned off assets, and documentation of his neglect toward the family. The stronger our case, the better our odds in court.”
